Anyone up for visiting Luzern and discovering its festival of lights? Due to the distance of the destination, a weekend journey is recommended, although it's also feasible to have it as day trip. Legend has it that Luzern was founded under the guidance of an angel, who pointed a ray of light over the chosen spot. And so the settlers built a town there. These days, the angels may be elsewhere in the skies, but a light festival is taking place in Luzern. While waiting to find out what the weather will be like, rough plan is to spend a Saturday afternoon in the picturesque Swiss city and combine a scenic walk across the Bireggwald forest with a stroll across the "Lilu" light festival. Hike takes around 2 hours and is well described at https://www.luzern.com/en/tour/bireggwald-oberrueti-luzern Recommended train: From Zürich: Zurich: 13:10, Luzern: 13:51 From Basel: Basel: 12:16, Luzern: 13:30 From Milano: Milano 9:43 (or 10:10, but it's expensive) Luzern 13:41 More on the light festival: https://lichtfestivalluzern.ch/
